Asterisks in my words

Recently, when I type certain letter combinations in chat, they get turned into asterisks, and it has nothing to do with the word filter.

Turned becomes T***ned, the ur gets replaced by three asterisks. Even a player's name in my Friends list changes from Aurora to A***ora. Another letter combination is ice - nice becomes n****.

Anybody else having this problem?

Yes, you on Kindle?? A friend on Kindle has the can't say nice rice with spiced life.

Hopefully fixed with next update.  Workaround is add spaces between letters of supposedly dodgy words

ETA IOS Users with this problem appears fixed with update - fingers crossed

Mine did that. I had to go change my word filter setting because it reset with an update. Now, no issues

I have tried it with and without word filter on, no difference. I have seen words blocked before with the word filter on, but never the part of a word that is a certain letter combination. And certainly never has a Friend's name contained unintentional asterisks.

Guess I'll just have to wait for the next update to see if corrects itself. At least other players have no problem reading my chat, only me.
